Connection Tips 
CAUTION 
 
Turn off power to the host PC and externally connected equipment prior to connecting 
cables or signal lines to DBKs.  Electric shock or damage to equipment can result even 
under low-voltage conditions. 
 
Take ESD precautions (packaging, proper handling, grounded wrist strap, etc.) 
Use care to avoid touching board surfaces and onboard components.  Only handle 
boards by their edges (or ORBs, if applicable).  Ensure boards do not come into 
contact with foreign elements such as oils, water, and industrial particulate. 
 
1.  Ensure power is removed from all device(s) to be connected.  
2.  As soon as the DBK215 cover is removed, verify that the Host 
Power LED is “Off.”  See figure at right for location. 
3.  Observe ESD precautions when handling the board and making 
connections. 
4.  You do not need to remove the cover unless you need to 
access a terminal block, customize an RC filter network,  
or set a BNC channel to Single-Ended mode or to Differential 
mode (via Jumpers J0 through J7).  Information regarding these 
tasks follows shortly.
